SST: 09961-00950
without SST - Torque: 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf)
with SST - Torque: 5.6 Nm (57 kgf-cm, 50 in-lbf)
NOTICE:
-
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 250 mm (9.84 in.).
-
This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to a torque wrench.
-
If the front airbag sensor has been dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connector, replace it with a new
one.
-
When installing the front airbag sensor, be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with other parts and that it is not pinched between
other parts.
-
Make sure that the pin is securely inserted into the body hole.
-
Tighten the bolt while holding the front airbag sensor because the front airbag sensor pin (stopper) is easily damaged.
